Drilling Cost
« on: August 14, 2007, 08:00:02 AM »
How much do you think the rate should be to drill a blank ball brought to the pro shop with a switch grip and two inner sleeves?

This is why the pro shop business is tuff, even you used to drill and not believe driller worth more than $50 an hour, REMEMBER we don't come to work and drill 8-10 hours straight.  Guys be real, how much a plaumber or electrician charge you to just look at the problem?  over 100/hr plus parts, why? thats included travel time and down time.

Back to the original post, I charge 50 blank drill, 15 inserts, 35 a set of switch grip and 20 for additional inner sleeve, so in this case $120, well I might throw in the inserts n this case.

That's why I choose to go to other alleys. I'm not paying 50 freakin dollars for the cost of drilling, that's ridiculous.

Yeah I hate paying people for their time and knowledge too.....

We wonder why pro shops are going under with this attitude.

Hell, I think every shop should charge 75 for a drill.

I pay 35€ here in germany that is 47$ without anything... just punching the holes.. (layout is an issue here... the local driller is lazy and always drills every ball label except asym cores... very very frustrating is that he never really measures PAP and stuff...)

I currently charge $30 for a blank drill(inserts and slugs extra). I cannot install switch grips, as I don't have a large enough bit(yet).

Our shops charge $30 to drill a blank plastic and $55 for reactive.  Grips are $12/pair, slugs $15.  Inners are $25 and outers $15.  But, we include a free analysis on the C.A.T.S. we have installed here with a reactive drill.  We charge $30 for the C.A.T.S. session so there is value in it for the customer.


Now here is something else to think about, we get $50 to plug a ball.  So, if you come in with a ball thats already drilled, I will plug, cut down, resurface AND drill the ball for less than a new ball.  I am currently lobbying to raise this more, but we were at $30 just last month.........baby steps.  Anyone in the business knows how much work goes into plugging a ball.  WE as an industry need to stop GIVING away our knowledge and expertise.
